Heirate Mich - Flake is ready...

from reel found on ig account _christian_flake_lorenz_ (don't know the original source), Philadelphia 2022-08-31

During Heirate Mich, where Paul takes over the low voiced 'Heirate Mich' phrases, Till is gesturing to the audience, maybe seeing who wants to marry him, when a potential spouse presents himself

Flake casually dances up to him

and stands right next to him

sparkling away

"you called?"

but Till wasn't ready for him, and Flake skips off again

and only then Till notices Flake was next to him

but now leaving...

back to his trusted fort of keyboards

Liveblog — St. Paul, Roy Wilkins Auditorium, 1999

Thank you to @theelliottsmiths for the recommendation!

Ah, is this the infamous drunk show? I suppose we’ll find out

WARNING: It’s a lot of me thirsting after Till. But I gotta be me, right?

Spiel mit mir

God, I love “Spiel mit mir” a little more every time I hear it.

The burning drum opening is the level of extra I have come to expect in my relatively short relationship with Rammstein.

Why do I love pigeon-toed Till so much? Such a masculine man, such child-like behavior—oh, there he is sucking his thumb again.

Watching Schneider drum is a sight to behold. That is all.

Tier

Aww, I always feel so proud of Till when he interacts with the audience. As someone who got a C in her public speaking class in college, I empathize with the stage fright.

I see you bobbing your head there, Oli.

Is Reesh wearing that coat or is the coat wearing him? Hard to tell.

Oh, Flake, when you dance, you remind me of one of those toy birds whose only function is to dip their heads in the water.

Intermission as I watch the Bachelor. Trust me, I’d rather be liveblogging this concert, but I’m in a group chat with my friends and it’s a complicated situation lol

Bestrafe mich

Okay, but that “OHHH” at the beginning did something to me.

I’m fairly vanilla, but there’s something about Till whipping himself?? I felt it for the first time when I watched the Rosenrot video and making of??

Fuck, his body. So nice. So foine. I love Chumby Till, but Ripped Till is gorgeous as well.

Sorry to be so thirsty...

Weisses Fleisch

The sparkler shoes. I would cause mass destruction if I ever dared wear those.

FLEISCH FLEISCH FLEISCH

Honestly, being at a Rammstein concert would be a hell of a way to find out you have epilepsy.

Schneider’s hips and Flake’s legs. That is all.

Sehnsucht

Yet another song that I enjoy the more I hear it.

Till standing still onstage always makes me feel like he’s mid-panic attack and I just

Is it the lighting/quality of the video or is Oli (supposed to look like he’s) covered in blood?

Not complaining, but why do Paul and Oli swap places onstage? Is this song more bass-heavy than I’ve ever noticed?

I love this bridge with the clapping; it makes me happy for reasons I cannot articulate.

Fuck, he just wrecked that microphone.

Asche zu Asche

It makes me happy when Richard and Paul stand in the middle of the stage and riff :’)

I can’t say this is one of my favorite songs, but I appreciate its energy.

FLAKE IS BREAKING IT DOWN AT THE KEYBOARD FUCK I LOVE HIM WHAT A CHARACTER

Yeeees, spotlight on Oli. So underrated. I see you, Lars.

Why was I surprised to see the mic-stands on fire??? There has never been anything to lead me to believe that something like that wouldn’t happen?

Ooh, the slow-down of the drums. I am a fan.

Seemann

Okay, this is one of my favorites. I absolutely love the softer side of Rammstein. Also, way before I even knew what the lyrics meant, this song made me want to cry. And I rarely cry over music. I did two years of German in high school and I vaguely knew what the line “mit Tränen im Gesicht” and it just

It me

It me mit Tränen im Gesicht

Okay, I feel like some people are not fans of the Slow Hammer, but I am a fan of Till’s back, and it highlights it, so I’ll take all the Slow Hammer I can get.

“HELLOOOO”

God, this song is fucking beautiful.

Was not expecting the🎵La-la-lalaaa🎵 but I am here for it.

Stripped (intro)

Let me see Till stripped

So sad this was cut short, it’s one of my favorites.

Someone’s string broke, correct? A shame.

Du riechst so gut

Another one of my controversial “not favorites” I’M SORRY

I keep thinking Flake and Schneider have 16-pack abs, but it’s just their outfits.

Why does this sound so off to me? Is it because they’re shit-faced or am I just tired after watching the Bachelor? There is no reason that show needs to be TWO HOURS LONG, but I digress.

Flake’s doing his toy-bird dance again lol how does one have so little rhythm, yet is such a compelling dancer?

Oh no, fucked-up guitar. Can’t blame the Bachelor on that one.

And the spotlight shines on Richard’s torso. As it should. Fuck, he has a lovely chest.

Du hast

Okay. I know. “It’S oVeRrAtEd AnD oVeRpLaYeD.” But I could not give less of a fuck???

It’s overplayed because it’s fucking catchy? And it’s a lot of people’s gateway into Rammstein, and I think people should let people enjoy it.

Anyway

I love when Till laughs :’)

The reverberating phone cracks me up and I’m not sure why?

Till spitting up that water like a fucking whale and its blowhole.

Lol what is Oli doing? Whatever he wants? I love it. And I love him.

Bück dich

Don’t be mad at me, but I like the Woo-Machine part better than the actual song

Woo-w-woo, indeed

Oh, there’s Flake on the leash.

Are Flake’s legs even real?

Oli’s over there looking like he just climbed out of some radioactive waste and is going to be a comic book villain.

Okay, yes, simulated anal sex, but Till’s little wiggle to distribute the “semen” was adorable.

Aaaand Oli’s getting a drink. Gotta stay hydrated??

Engel (cut)

I absolutely love Engel. It’s one of my “let me listen to this on-repeat for ????” songs

Sad that it’s a bit chopped up :’(

Till directing the fire always entertains me.

YES SPARKLER DRUMSTICKS

I fucking LOVE how extra these boys are. Like, I know it’s because they know a lot of their fanbase doesn’t speak German and it’s for entertainment purposes. Honestly, I feel, as an American who only speaks English, the music can stand on its own. But the spectacle is still MUCH appreciated.

I’m not sure if that last bit made any sense, but we’re running with it.

I love Flake’s extended outtro. (Is that a word? And is it the right one? I’m running on fumes at this point.)

Rammstein

This song gives me so much nostalgia, but I honestly don’t remember the first time I heard it?? I just remember knowing it.

Watching Till stand there in that coat with his arms out makes mine HURT.

The way the coat lit up made me happy in a way I cannot explain.

Yes bb show it OFF

Those drums. Simple, but effective.

In my limited experience, I feel like this a song that Till is pretty hit-or-miss on live. I think this is a hit. But what do I know?

This is the first time I’ve ever noticed/paid attention to the harmonies on this song.

Aww, Paul and Richard are doing the riff thing again, I just love it.

OLI and the giant stomps. God, I love him. And I just realized he’s wearing short-shorts???

Also, not hating Paul’s hair?

Laichzeit

Loving Paul and Schneider’s head-banging.

Also, Till looks zoned out? Drunk?? Panicked???

🎵AUUUGENNNN🎵

This is usually one I skip over when I’m listening on my phone, but I’m super digging Flake’s contribution tonight.

Till ululating was not something I thought I would ever hear??

Yes, Flake, earning that spotlight.

This auditorium must reek of sweat and fuel at this point.

But mostly sweat.

Ssssssllllloooowwwww eeeeeennnnddd

Wollt ihr das Bett in Flammen sehen?

Ah, one of many songs where they chant their own name.

I’m trying REAL HARD not to say that Till can set my bed on fire whenever he wants.

I love this song, but the Doom noises just

Richard, I adore you, but I am not a fan of the bell-bottoms. I know it was a different time. But please.

Till’s ruffled hair is...lovely.

Is this the show they played before that elevator clip?

Aww, the sparklers. I don’t think it’s supposed to be as cute as I find it??

Paul is adorable.

Fuck yeeees, I love when the flamethrowers get brought out.

Especially when used so phallically. I see you, Till.

“We love you. Thank you.” I LOVE YOU TOO AND YOU’RE WELCOME.

Well, it happened. I have no regrets and if you made it this far, then I hope you have none either.

Okay so, Can you show us a part of your art? :3

Of course~

The above image was a piece I was working on right before my tablet completely broke tonight ;-; I’m still devastated and upset to be honest… (And to think I literally was just getting started on the detailed shading OTL)Hrrgghh besides that…. here’s more art I’ve done (I’m gonna add Rammstein based/inspired ones because it’s necessary and important)I’m also very excited to share these because I feel these following pieces deserve more attention. (Descriptions about each one is located below each image!)

This image above is inspired by the Sehnsucht album cover! Character featured is named Bestrafer. c:

The character in this comic-like strip is my boy, Engel. His design is actually inspired off of Richard C: (Richard is my fav if you couldn’t tell teehee…plus the first panel is my tumblr header! That way my icon and the header forms a sort of parallel haha)This piece is actually titled “Engel Vision” because I actually had a vision of this character pictured just like this! (Fun facts for days yay)

Fire *0* Lots and lots of fire. Drew this on Richard’s birthday of course ;)Inspired by him as well (I am total trash I know asdfgh)

This above piece was inspired by the Mutter album cover! I think the Sehnsucht inspired one looks better but… still rather proud of it though! Honestly… these super detailed images took DAYS to complete (You can ask my friends, they’ve witnessed the amount of painstaking detail I put in my art pieces when I livestream). Every line and aspect of my artwork is drawn by my own hand using only the Pen, Airbrush, and Blur/Watercolor tools in Paint Tool Sai.I draw more than just canines… but I’m VERY and EXTREMELY critical of my human art.I also have a couple tags y’all can look through if you’re interested to look at more of my work. They are:“Neigh Characters” and “Neigh Arts” I hope you enjoyed me sharing some of my work ;v;

Goth A short Introduction

Goth - A quick Introduction

What mental photograph does the term "goth" evoke? Potentially you envision an acne-ridden teen, with poor posture as well as a slight pudge, traipsing around the shopping mall in an oversized black t-shirt. Or you're thinking that of sure movies, like Beetlejuice, The Addams Family or Dracula. You may perhaps picture Dita Von Teese, burlesque dancer extraordinaire, strutting concerning the phase in progressively less fantastic garments. Her ex-partner, Marilyn Manson, might also arrive at head.

But regardless of what you image, A fast mental study will explain to you just how varied goth society (or darkish wave society, since it's from time to time identified as) basically is. From Nick Cave to Morticia Addams, this subcultural fashion has evolved when retaining its unique character.

The Goths were an East Germanic tribe, Possibly from contemporary-day Sweden or maybe the Baltics. They invaded the Roman Empire repeatedly amongst the 3rd and fifth centuries A.D. As a consequence of these invasions, as well as their unusual society, "goth" grew to become synonymous with "barbaric."

All through the eu Renaissance, cathedrals like Notre Dame, Chartres and Lousy Doberan were thought of barbaric and uncivilized. The appellation "gothic," then a synonym for "barbaric," trapped. More than the course of centuries, the term's meaning transmuted to imply the gloomy, mystical aesthetic of those cathedrals.

Authors like Mary Shelley, Horace Walpole, Bram Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe experimented with this particular aesthetic, building what we now know as horror fiction. These writers emerged out from the Romantic movement, which emphasised emotion and passion, Particularly gloomy and doomed enthusiasm, above logic, explanation and sunny optimism. Mary Shelley, as an example, was the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, intimate poet and modern of Byron and Keats.

Following 1970s punk burnt alone out, British isles write-up-punk bands like Bauhaus and Siouxsie and also the Banshees emerged which has a darker, much more introspective audio. These bands were being identified as "dark wave," "punk gothique," "new passionate" or simply "publish-punk," as quite a few assorted groups were then identified as. These bands borrowed closely within the punk and new wave traditions of audio and dress: early pictures exhibit plenty of crimson lipstick, black leather, torn fishnets, even army boots.

It was not right up until the early 1980s that "gothic" was regarded as a definite subculture. Golf equipment like "Batcave" in London established visibility for this nascent scene; early goths had been at times referred to as "Batcavers," and an early Birthday Get together track, "Launch the Bats," parodies the "bat horror vampire" aesthetic.

Within the nineteen nineties, new minicultures and sub-subcultures emerged; the label "goth" grew to become much more contentious, as performers like Rammstein, 9 Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson drifted in to the mainstream. These contentions ended up parodied, rather effectively, by Jhonen Vasquez in his comic strip, "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac."

Tunes

Typically, the goth movement commenced when Bauhaus unveiled "Bela Lugosi's Lifeless" in 1979. The song was useful for the cult vampire movie the Hunger, shown beneath.

Goth: A Brief Introduction

What mental picture does the phrase "goth" evoke? Maybe you consider an acne-ridden teenager, with undesirable posture and also a slight pudge, traipsing across the mall in an oversized black t-shirt. Or you think that of selected motion pictures, like Beetlejuice, The Addams Family members or Dracula. You may perhaps photo Dita Von Teese, burlesque dancer extraordinaire, strutting in regards to the stage in progressively fewer fantastic garments. Her ex-spouse, Marilyn Manson, might also come to intellect.

But what ever you image, A fast psychological study will show you just how varied goth lifestyle (or dark wave tradition, as it's in some cases referred to as) essentially is. From Nick Cave to Morticia Addams, this subcultural type has developed whilst retaining its person character.

What Does "Goth" Imply?

The Goths ended up an East Germanic tribe, Probably from modern-day-working day Sweden or even the Baltics. They invaded the Roman Empire repeatedly involving the 3rd and fifth generations A.D. Because of these invasions, and their abnormal tradition, "goth" became synonymous with "barbaric."

Throughout the eu Renaissance, cathedrals like Notre Dame, Chartres and Terrible Doberan had been considered barbaric and uncivilized. The appellation "gothic," then a synonym for "barbaric," stuck. Over the training course of generations, the term's indicating transmuted to imply the gloomy, mystical aesthetic of such cathedrals.

Authors like Mary Shelley, Horace Walpole, Bram Stoker and Edgar Allan Poe experimented using this aesthetic, creating what we now know as horror fiction. These writers emerged out of the Romantic motion, which emphasized emotion and passion, In particular gloomy and doomed enthusiasm, over logic, reason and sunny optimism. Mary Shelley, for instance, was the wife of Percy Bysshe Shelley, intimate poet and present-day of Byron and Keats.

Right after seventies punk burnt itself out, United kingdom write-up-punk bands like Bauhaus and Siouxsie as well as the Banshees emerged using a darker, additional introspective audio. These bands were being known as "dark wave," "punk gothique," "new intimate" or simply "write-up-punk," as lots of numerous groups were then referred to as. These bands borrowed intensely with the punk and new wave traditions Wholesalebazaar of new music and dress: early photographs present a great deal of purple lipstick, black leather-based, torn fishnets, even Military boots.

It wasn't right until the early nineteen eighties that "gothic" was acknowledged as a distinct subculture. Clubs like "Batcave" in London made visibility for this nascent scene; early goths had been at times referred to as "Batcavers," and an early Birthday Party song, "Launch the Bats," parodies the "bat horror vampire" aesthetic.

Within the nineties, new minicultures and sub-subcultures emerged; the label "goth" turned far more contentious, as performers like Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson drifted in the mainstream. These contentions were parodied, fairly correctly, by Jhonen Vasquez in his comic strip, "Johnny the Homicidal Maniac."

New music

Siouxsie Sioux.

Historically, the goth motion commenced when Bauhaus produced "Bela Lugosi's Useless" in 1979. The tune was useful for the cult vampire movie the Hunger, revealed down below.

Most early bands have been from your United kingdom, having a number of exceptions (e.g. the Birthday Celebration, who have been from Melbourne).

An analogous but distinctive movement, referred to as No Wave, emerged concurrently in New York City. Soon after 1983, on the other hand, No Wave was no a lot more, as well as prominent users while in the scene, including James Chance, Lydia Lunch and Thurston Moore, moved on to other initiatives.

Afterwards bands, including the Cocteau Twins and Lifeless Can Dance, eschewed punk rock for a far more dreamy aesthetic, though Loss of life metallic bands blended monochromatic style with major metallic songs. The "New Romantics," like The Heal's Robert Smith, wore poet's shirts, dark jackets and tight pants.

Industrial artists, for instance KMFDM, included PVC, Vinyl, straitjackets and other artificial aspects into their wardrobes. The recognition of gauged piercings amid industrial admirers earned them the nickname "rivetheads."

Movies

Outdated horror movies, like The cupboard of Dr. Caligari, Dracula and Nosferatu, experienced a profound effect on the aesthetic with the early goth motion. Theatrical make-up, vampiric factors, pale pores and skin and wild hair ended up all integrated in to the subculture, becoming almost a uniform for teens.

Campy nineteen fifties and 60s horror films also added on the aesthetic; Television set personalities like Vampira plus the Addams Relatives (later on remade right into a Motion picture) performed around the spooky aesthetic.

Inside the 1980s and 90s, flicks such as Addams Relatives, Job interview Having a Vampire and Elvira appropriated and improvised on gothic themes.

Tim Burton is most likely the most effective-known director of these characteristics, with titles like Beetlejuice, Edward Scissorhands as well as the Nightmare Before Xmas in his repertoire.

Philosophy: "Constantly Seem within the Darkish Side of Lifestyle"

Sorrow, soreness, even violence are all Portion of the human condition. In lieu of currently being eternally perky and optimistic, goths favor acquiring natural beauty and perhaps joy in darkness. Otherwise, How are you going to be viewed as entirely alive?

Western culture is too materialist/conformist/vulgar (remedy will depend on whom you question), and we should always return to your elegance/depravity/poetry of the bygone time, or a minimum of create a far more enriching option to your mainstream.

Cheering squad newest member - Chicago 2022

from yt video by Rachel C, Rammstein in Chicago 2022-09-03

The video doesn't show the entire song, so maybe more will turn up, and at some point zooms in for some nice butcher Till close-ups dangling over the railing

seems like usual right? well, not really, because when Till walks back it turns out Olli is in Richard's spot, with Richard (or his coat, which is easy to spot) nowhere in sight

only a while later we see Richard running back from visiting Paul's spot (was Paul there, or was Paul in someone elses spot too?)

then the screaming squad starts to get ready, and as he did in earlier shows, Richard motions for Olli to come over...

...only this time Olli actually does, moving behind Schneider

...Schneider also gives him a chance at a screaming solo

drummer Schneider and his (bass)guitarists jamming away

while Flake is not impressed with butcher Till's roasting skills

"move on you with your little candlestick.."

and while Till gets out the big gun, the cheering squad forms, starts snapping their fingers and yes this time even Olli joins in

So for, i think, the first time, butcher Till has a five-man-cheering squad, because soon to be roasted Flake always joins as well 😊

Heirate Mich - Prankster Till..

Mexico 2022 (not sure which concert), yt video by Melomania

After getting into a headbutting bwith the stagelight, Till sneaks up on Flake on his treadmill

Flake quickly running off

and back round..

to get back to his keyboard 😊

Till encourages Flake to do his Flake moves

and joins in for a few moments 😊

This concert was filmed and at some points you can see cameras, camsticks and, i think sound-sticks waving about...which is always a tricky thing to do, because if they get to near Till, he tries to grab them...and so he does this time, catching a part of a stick and pulling it off

it doesn't really show from this angle, but from other concerts, i bet he tries to stuff it in his pants

then walks up to Paul and pokes his face with the stick

and playing some more with it before he tosses it away

Mein Teil intro - San Antonio 2022-09-17

From yt video by Fake Fan, video of Radio & Mein Teil

Intro starts with a 'tug of war' between the guitarists

well...without the 'tug'..

..'guitar of war'..? Whatever it is, it's enough to make Richard's coat fall open far enough 😊

then they come together for some synchronized guitaring

starting to get better at actually being synchronized

and at getting as close as actually possible while still being able to play

even the bows at the end are starting to get in sync...forward..

...and back..

Engel - Mexico II 2022-10-02

from yt video by Dan Hdz

Flake was in a dancing mood on Mexico II, trying dancemoves inbetween singing

Till joined his corner, and Schneider joined Flake's dancing

Paul tried to trash the railing but fails

Till however effortlessly floors mic-stand one..

..and two..

The sea of Mexican fans carries the boats to the other side, Schneider swimming along (drummer arms!)

And Flake very proudly shows his new hat to his boatmate

Paul also tries to catch something thrown by a fan

..the sea is kinda wild again, Paul and Olli's boat arrives backwards

and something i noticed now (might also have been at other concerts), while Schneider and Flake resume their regular spots and Paul holds the sign, Olli stays on frontstage, and seems to only leave once Richard and Till have safely arrived on stage ❤️

Engel - Los Angeles II - 2022-09-24

from yt video by drjay999

Engel starts when Paul and Till are not on stage yet (they seem to appear later from the stairs), Richard's looking back to see where they are..

...when Paul does appear, he is no hurry to join the singing, first doing an inspection round, looking at Richard..

..and Olli.. (who doesn't even flinch..)

...and the piano ladies, before he finally settles behind his mic

A while later Till does his round around stage to encourage the audience, but he glimpses something to shove out of the way and reaches past Richard for it (not Richard's mic-stand, that's the best guarded one on the entire stage), but a stick-cam (it doesn't show in the video at this point, but is a few seconds later and there is nothing else at that side to shove..😊)

..end of the song, again Paul is in no hurry, waving and posing for the fans

little touching between the guitarists "wanna hug?" "no, wanna get to your spot to wave to the fans" 😊

the sea of hands is a little more tranquil today, Schneider and Flake both starting standing up in the boat

They are tossed over at some point, but Flake enjoys himself nonetheless

Olli gets into the boat safely too (no diving today), and manages to go almost invisble despite going oberkörperfrei

Engel and Crowdboating - Paul edition

Mexico 2022-10-04, video by yt account abnhael

Quality is not good in stills, but in the video you can pretty much tell what happens, this time it's Paul-edition all the way

Getting on stage in full galop

....on his best behavious during the singing bits, but after that is done, the first mic-stand the goes down is his own (Till sees him and exits the stairs immediately, i think he knew he didn't have a chance with the mic-stands today)

because Schneider's is the 2nd mic-stand going down with a karate-chop (i'm not sure if he takes Flake's out too)

Richard's mic-stand is as usual protected by Richard saying goodbye to the crowd, but Olli's is available, and with a fancy jump, this one bites the dust as well

then a good rubbedubdub on the pianos

entering the boats, letting himself fall backwards into it

the boats getting in a bit of a jam at the end, but Paul takes advantage of it to gesture to buddy Schneider "heeeeeyyy Schneider!!!"

"Hey Paul!!!!!"

Los Angeles I 2022-09-23 - Wild sea

Wild sea during crowdboating in Los Angeles concert I, original video yt account Greven Grishnackh

To start with on the Engel stage, Paul knocks down his own mic-stand (leaving no fun for Till to do it), also: Ukrainian flag spotted in the crowd

Paul and Richard linger a bit on the Engel stage saying goodbye to the piano ladies, while Till is already hurrying back to main stage

Schneider already in the boat, making the backside tilt upwards, Flake really having to lift his leg high to get over the rim (he falls in the boat a bit unceremoniously)

Schneider tries to stand up a few times, but the sea of hands makes him fall down again

Paul and Olli before entering the boat, funny how they are the same heightwith Paul standing on the step

when Paul gets in and shuffles to the front, again the backside of the boat lifts up high

and comes back down, but the boat already moved away from the platform, making Olli having to take a real jump getting in

...when he lands in the boat Paul falls down as well..

back on main stage Paul and Olli's boat veers of course, Richard's is a long way behind (he assume it will have taken some time before he could get in his boat, there's no way he could make a leap like Olli)

Richard throws away his entire stack of cards before disembarking

😊

What's he doing over there..

(from yt video by Andrew Omega, Zeig dich, Los Angeles 2022-09-23)

Long distance contact from the guitarists, at the start, Paul comes on stage and looks over to the other side where Richard is already in position, one foot on his stand, head tilted slightly back...

Paul thinks "hmm...why don't i have a stand.."

"wait...i have my mic stand lever.."

"see...that works..no what's he doing.."

" leaning back...nose up.."

"yeaaahh...long distance synchronised guitaring.."

then later between chorusses, Paul starts balancing on one foot and looks over..

Richard sees him and waves

more balancing because why not
